May Queen
I went to meet her for a friend,
A beloved friend who knew he couldn't be there,
And knew someone should be.
We love each other, he and I... a brother's love, he'd say
So who else would he send to bring his bride that day?
They said she's lovely as the spring;
Imagine my surprise to find that they were right
And hadn't said the half.
The careless sunlight in her eyes and petals in her hair;
I saw how he could love her, the May Queen standing there.
And in that moment I understood how he could love her
And what they shared would never be for me
I understood, but yet I've never really conquered
That part inside that wishes it had been me
And I was staring at the sun for hours the morning after
Trying to burn it from my eyes;
He's never been what I can't help but see when he is with her
And so of course I wished them joy-- else what friend would I be?
And in that moment I understood how he could love her
And what they shared would never be for me
I understood, but yet I've never really conquered
That part inside that wishes it had been me
A beloved friend who knew he couldn't be there,
And knew someone should be.
We love each other, he and I... a brother's love, he'd say
So who else would he send to bring his bride that day?
They said she's lovely as the spring;
Imagine my surprise to find that they were right
And hadn't said the half.
The careless sunlight in her eyes and petals in her hair;
I saw how he could love her, the May Queen standing there.
And in that moment I understood how he could love her
And what they shared would never be for me
I understood, but yet I've never really conquered
That part inside that wishes it had been me
And I was staring at the sun for hours the morning after
Trying to burn it from my eyes;
He's never been what I can't help but see when he is with her
And so of course I wished them joy-- else what friend would I be?
And in that moment I understood how he could love her
And what they shared would never be for me
I understood, but yet I've never really conquered
That part inside that wishes it had been me
